HALL, Presiding Judge.

Plaintiff in a suit for invasion of privacy appeals from the summary judgment for the defendant. Plaintiff contends the tort committed was the sending of a letter to his employer by a creditor regarding a debt. This court has recently held that this conduct does not give rise to an action for invasion of privacy. Signal Oil c. Co. v. Conway, 126 Ga. App. 711. See also Gouldman-Taber Pontiac v. Zerbst, 213 Ga. 682 ( 100 S.E.2d 881) on which the holding in the Signal Oil case is based.

Judgment affirmed. Pannell and Quillian, JJ., concur.

ARGUED JULY 6, 1972 — DECIDED SEPTEMBER 5, 1972.
